"String you along" nghĩa là gì?

"String someone along" là khiến ai đó hướng sự chú ý vào mình/ khiến ai chờ đợi trong tình trạng không chắc chắn/ lừa dối ai. 

Ví dụ 
The star revealed that she was proposed to by a prince, and her motto is "try to string them along until you make up your mind (quyết định)" – but that wasn't even her best moment. 

You are not responsible for Tiffany's reactions to you. Be honest, be kind, but do not string her along unless you are willing to sincerely engage (chân thành giao ước) in a friendship with her (and possibly also rotate her tires). 

Speaking of trying to convince yourself everything is fine, Andy seems to think he’s in the majority on the Champions tribe (nhóm, lũ, bọn). He even thinks David is his closest ally (đồng minh thân cận nhất) despite all signs pointing to the contrary. David will continue to string him along, as David considers himself, Luke, John, and Daisy as the core four of the tribe.
